A great example of this “blaming it on the black guy” is that according to a recent poll more Americans think the bank bailouts (TARP) happened under President Obama (47%) than think they happened under President Bush (34%)! To be clear, the bank bailouts happened under Bush.
Remember: The economy went to hell in September […]

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn’t get mad when […]

The disturbing truth is that the Bush/Cheney admin wasn’t torturing detainees to get intelligence to protect the country (torture has never been proven to be effective at getting good information) but instead they were torturing them to try to get them to give a (false) confession of some link between 9/11 and Iraq.

Although it seems somewhat crazy to already be polling approval ratings for someone who will not even become President for another two months, that’s exactly what Rasmussen Reports is doing.
On 11/6, Obama’s approval rating was at 52% (closely corresponding to the 53% Obama won in the popular vote.) As of 11/17 (today) that approval […]

Jon Stewart on John McCain’s RNC acceptance speech:

Read this commentary by Jack Cafferty at CNN: McCain is another Bush.
Not only does McCain share most of the same view points as Bush and plans no major changes in policy from the Bush admin, he is also very similar to Bush as far as the way he thinks in general. McCain a simplistic thinker […]

President George W. Bush criticized Barack Obama’s platform at a Republican fundraiser last night. In particular he mocked Obama’s themes of “hope” and “change.” Rather fitting coming from a President who has brought us nothing but “fear” and who endorses a candidate (McCain) who wants to bring us a lot more of the “same.”
“The war […]
